ReviewsHere Ben Howkins approaches his subject with passion and flair, bringing to life the vineyards, the bodegas, the wines and the history of the region with a light and entertaining touch., Howkins' book is a spy novel, a thriller, a rollicking tale, a love letter, a missive of hope. He deconstructs the collapse of the industry with the relish of someone who loves a little bloodthirsty horror, with the forensic precision of a scientist, and with the sensitivity and awe of an archaeologist. History lessons are interleaved with amusing personal anecdotes...He unpicks the economics, politics, geography, styles and trends of sherry in easy raconteur fashion, delivering vast tracts of fact without heft but with a twinkle of gently mocking, droll, aslant humour (often at his own expense)., The Académie du Vin Library is an important publication of wine literature... every work is a must for wine lovers.
SynopsisThe essential guide to this underrated but increasingly popular fortified wine Perfect for every serious wine drinker but also the armchair traveler and those who want to understand how sherries are made Written by one of the most well-regarded wine writers on the subject Beautifully designed and highly illustrated to tell the story of the wines, the makers and the region Made in a unique way, matured in cellars dating back to the age of the Conquistadores, and bursting with a panoply of sun-drenched flavors, Sherry has - due to a succession of scandals and bad luck in the 1970s - been maligned and misunderstood. But the Sherry scene is set for seismic change. With a series of new styles, new vineyards and a dynamic new crop of cellar masters, this wine is creating a revolution in the world's restaurants that can't be ignored. Ben Howkins, in colorful words and equally evocative pictures, delves deep into sherry's fascinating story and reveals why it is set to come back into our lives with a magnificent flourish! "With over 3,000 years of history behind it, the future of Sherry lies in its past. Sommeliers admire it for its many varieties and Ben Howkins' book will tell you why." - Steven Spurrier, Made in a unique way, matured in cellars dating back to the age of the Conquistadores and bursting with sun-drenched flavours, sherry has - due to a succession of scandals and bad luck in the 1970s - been maligned and misunderstood. Now, in colourful words and equally evocative pictures, Ben Howkins delves deep into the fascinating story behind the golden spirit of Jerez and explains why this wine is poised to make a magnificent comeback.
